blood pressure?

I went to the chiropractor for the first time ever today. He got a little concerned over my bp which freaked me out a bit. It was 103/66. He says that too low for pg. he was also concerned about my pulse which was 112. I thought low bp was good and I thought pulse went up during pg. does this jump out to anyone else or is this just a new doc who knows nothing about pg women. I should note the head of the practice took over from there and he didn't say a word about it.

Im not a doctor, but it doesnt sound too low. Mine has been 95/55 throughout the pregnancy, and my midwife is perfectly happy. If your blood pressure is usually around this level, i wouldn't think there's much cause for concern:)

Normal. Sorry he worried you! Low blood pressure is common during pregnancy and *technically* that's not even considered low blood pressure. If it falls below 90 on the top and 60 on the bottom, that is considered low blood pressure. Around 28 weeks, our blood volume doubles! I wouldn't be surprised if that is why your pulse is elevated. My resting pulse usually runs around 109bpm.

Mine is similar to yours. Mine caused a lot of dizziness and I fainted once. The OB is not too concerned though. Maybe the inexperienced doc was afraid of doing something to you that could cause you to pass out or something.

My chiro checks mine every appointment. I've always run pretty low, about 110/60s-70s and both my chiro and my ob feel it's normal. I think the chiro checks it because adjustments can sometimes actually lower it. Make sure you drink water and have a snack just before your appointments. That can help raise it a little if you're worried or if you're feeling lightheaded. Hope that helped!

My bestie went to the chiropractor while pregnant, they took her blood pressure and it literally saved her life. They told her it was high. She felt great, but he advised her to go to her doctor. The next day was Saturday, so she went by a quick clinic just to ease her mind and have them check her blood pressure. They told her to go to the hospital immediately. She got there and she had developed preclampsia, hellp syndrome, and her baby passed that evening. The whole time she felt normal! So just consider it as precautionary that they take it:)
